I am super excited to finally release Elliott Powell's official music video of Thorn and Thicket! Thorn and Thicket was written in response to a car accident Elliott had when he fell asleep at the wheel. You'll notice in the video that he nails pictures of his car wreck along with photographs of his family (what he would have missed if he was killed in the wreck). The scary thing is when Elliott tells you this story in person, you learn that when he woke up from the accident he found his car engine in his lap. So when Elliott told me all of these details it was very important for him to show a crash test dummy that represents him and embracing life.

We shot the majority of this video on a private farm up in Whitehall, PA (thanks Lou & Sue!). And it was just gorgeous up there! Sunrises and sunsets are just perfect. I also had the help of Bruce Kite as my second shooter for two days (he is the DP from The Backyard Philly Project -- a documentary I directed through my organization Ferasha Films). You'll see in the Behind the Scenes photos (below the video post) how Bruce took some risky shots. So now I give you the world premiere of Elliott Powell's Thorn and Thicket.
